An RPg student will be de-registered from his/her studies at PolyU on grounds of academic failure in the following circumstances:

• if his/her progress is considered unsatisfactory; or
• if he/she has reached the maximum number of retakes allowed for a failed compulsory subject (see Subject Retaking); or
• if he/she fails to complete the Confirmation of Registration before the deadline; or
• he/she fails to submit the thesis upon the expiry of the maximum period of study; or
• if his/her thesis is deemed unsatisfactory.

A recommendation for de-registration as a result of unsatisfactory progress may be proposed by the Chief Supervisor and approved by the D/SRC. The D/SRC Chair cannot take action by himself/herself on this issue.

Tuition fee arrangement for de-registration case is available here.
